Hi everyone,
I've been looking to update the mess that is my .emacs file. Looking around, there are many new Evil packages and new ways of managing them. I've come across the following as a rather ambitious way to integrate Evil into many modes:

Anyone have an opinion on it? I'm trying it briefly. I like the discover-ability, but it's a lot of new muscle memory to learn.
Any other suggestions for organizing .emacs? I mainly use Org, ESS, and of course Evil.
I'm presently using spacemacs and I think it's a fantastic piece of kit. It provides a very useful method of organizing packages (the so called "layers", of which ESS is already one) that make maintaining your personal configuration as well as adding additional contributors package configs very simple. Documentation is second-to-none for emacs packages and commits seem to be pushed daily.
